The spicy story of the cop fired after testing positive on a drug test - after unkowingly eating a meatball spiked with pot - returns with a lawsuit! Anthony Chiofalo, a 22-year veteran of the NYPD Joint Terrorism Task Force, is suing to be reinstated, claiming his termination was "arbitrary, capricious, unreasonable and unconstitutional."

A police officer in the NYPD's Joint Terrorism Task Force underwent random drug testing - only to find that he tested positive for marijuana.

ABC News reports that one of the suspects told the authorities the maps were for his new job as a street vendor, as well as the fact that he was the only person the apartment, but then authorities found a few other men in a search. This comes as the Daily News reveals the MTA keep files on people who are "stopped or questioned for filming or photographing bridges and tunnels."
